Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

Holy shit. They finally did it. I've been bugging VMP for a while now about releasing some MMW. The first 4 albums + Tonic would have been my preference, but these will more than suffice. RKS remasters from original tapes and RTI is an unexpected bonus. Pricing is ridiculous, but I can't say no.
 
A hundred dollars for two fucking albums. C'mon, son.
I agree, it is a lot money! VMP very well knows what original pressings of these albums go for on the secondary market.

But, to provide some context relative to the price points, we can compare it to the recent Blue Note Tone Poet series. There have only been a couple Blue Note Tone Poet releases that were 2xLPs, and I think they retailed for about $40 to $45.

So, these MMWs (also Blue Note records) aren't too far off in price if you are a member. Both the Tone Poets and MMWs are pressed at RTI from original tapes, and have solid specs (TP = Kevin Gray; MMW = Ryan Sterling). At least that is how I am rationalizing it. You are paying an upcharge of $5 to $10 for a color variant and free shipping (and no sales tax where I live).

I've been after Uninvisible for some time, and OG copies are like $100 - $200, so this was a instant purchase for me, with a $15 credit.

Hopefully Blue Note will repress all the MMW titles on their label. It's overdue.
